system to test and calibrate an analog traction control system. the system uses a frequency to voltage converter and a bunch of opamps to compare wheel speeds then determines wheel slip or slide and either reduces engine power or braking.

Test system uses ADCs, DACs and a DDS to produce a sine wave that simulates wheel speed.

I would rather be fishing.

I’ve recently written ImapGoose, a daemon which keeps a remote IMAP mailbox in sync with a local tree of Maildir: https://whynothugo.nl/tags/imapgoose/

It relies on “modern” (2009) extensions to minimise traffic and avoids polling entirely (relying on the server to notify of new messages or changes as they happen).

It’s currently quite stable. The only known issue is that it can take a while to detect a timeout when the system is suspended and woken up again (there’s no portable API to detect suspend/resume).

Since then, I’ve been working on a simple TUI email client based on notmuch and maildir. So far it works really well for processing email, but lacks any capabilities for handling attachments, composing, sending (these are obviously on the roadmap).

I’m building Sink It for Reddit (https://gosinkit.com), a browser extension to make Reddit usable on the web. It’s similar to RES with broader support for all the different Reddit UIs (there are 4).

It’s mostly free with only old Reddit features gated behind a one time $5 fee. The app has a few hundred thousand users on the Apple platforms but recently it was invited to join Mozilla’s Recommended Extensions program so I’m hoping to grow the non-Apple user base.

I'm building a Firefox, Chrome, VSCode and OpenVSX security scanner and profiler, and working on building a private web store for Enterprises to switch to rather than using the default stores given all the ransomware and malware activity in that space. Will show HN very soon!
